majesties -> {ghItlhvetlh} ("that manuscript")!! <g>
We do have a noun from Klingon Monopoly - {ngay'} "glory" - which might work for "majesty":
wo' ngay' bochoqmeH bowIvlu'pu'!
You have been chosen to preserve the glory of the Empire! MKE
Anyone know if all the new words from the last couple of years have been entered into the Bing database, or is it only those published in TKD and KGT?
> but where did *{vtlhu vo'} come from?
tlhu' "be tempted"
vo' "propel
-vo' "from"
I can see Bing mis-using {-vo'} as "for", but {vtlhu} is a puzzle.
